Summer Housing 2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n

May 18 \u2013 August 1, 2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This page provides students with important information regarding summer housing. Please read it carefully as you are accountable for adhering to this information. All summer residents must abide by standard College policies as noted on the Housing Contract, and in the College Catalog, Student Handbook, and the SMCM website.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Office of Residence Life manages one residential area during the summer (dates listed above) for use by SMCM students who are enrolled in SMCM summer school classes,\u00a0 SURF, and\/or working on- or off-campus. Students employed on- or off-campus must work at least 25 hours per week for each week that they are residing on-campus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Eligibility:
\nHousing is limited on campus for the summer; priority housing will be provided to students who complete their contract on-time (and provide the correct verification of their summer term) and are enrolled in in-person coursework or working in an on-campus job, or are in an off-campus for-credit internship.
\nStudents who are working off-campus and not as part of an internship will receive housing if space is available.
\nStudents who will graduate in May are not<\/em> eligible for student housing over the summer.
\nStudents who are not registered for the upcoming Fall courses are not eligible for student housing over the summer.
\nNew students for Fall are not eligible for student housing over the summer.
\nStudents participating in REU or Field School programs should contact their program director – Housing for these groups are assigned by our Conference and Events staff.<\/p>\n
